Beach Dancers Still On Fox Show

Danny Tidwell was in the bottom Thursday night on "So You Think You Can Dance," and had to dance for his life.

The ballet dancer had to do a hip-hop routine Wednesday night with his ballroom-trained partner, Anya Garnis.

Though the pair has been one of the top couples thus far, they didn't quite nail the hip-hop dance.

"Out of everything I've seen you do, I think that could be your downfall," said judge Nigel Lythgoe.

Fortunately, Tidwell's huge jumps and dizzying spins Thursday were enough to keep him on the show for another week as Lythgoe called his solo "outstanding."

Tidwell, 23, and Jaimie Goodwin are two dancers from Virginia Beach who've been competing on Fox's reality show.

The program whittles an initial group of 20 dancers down each week as they dance in pairs to various styles, like hip-hop, contemporary or ballroom.

Goodwin, 19, and her partner Hokuto "Hok" Konishi were safe after a memorable performance of a Wade Robson jazz dance. Konishi was a hummingbird in love with a flower -- Goodwin.

"It's one of those routines that we will remember on this series for a very long time," said Lythgoe.

Tidwell and Goodwin have danced at Denise Wall Dance Energy Studio in Virginia Beach and will continue to compete with their partners next week. The show airs at 8 p.m. Wednesday and 9 p.m. Thursday on Fox WVBT, Cox Channel 14. *
